Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

This parody of Star Wars was made long before it was actually released. Making its debut in LA at a 3-D film festival; the reason for its languishment becomes more than apparent. The tale: billed in the title crawl as "Episode IV: The Last Resort," begins as the villainous Buckethead orders his diminutive blue, hooded minions to capture the rebel leader Princess Serina and take from her the radio transmission she swiped. The minions shove their ship into hyperspace drive and race off. Unfortunately they miscalculated their destination and end up in a backwater southern town in the United States filled with rednecks. The would be dominators of the universe encounter further problems when one of the soldiers accidentally gets locked in the back of an exterminator truck. The others, apparently not realizing that they are not where they should be, continue their quest for the transmissions and begin taking hostages. By this time the townies figure out that their visitors are from space and so call in a goofy UFO specialist to investigate.
